Normal people have two characteristics: “acidic” and “alkaline”. And this part of the vagina must be weakly acidic to be healthy. Some people may ask, will condom use lead to gynecological diseases? Look down with the editor.
“Acid” and “alkaline” affect women’s health
Normal people have two characteristics: “acidic” and “alkaline”. Usually, the blood, bones, muscles, and heart of the human body are alkaline. However, not all places are the best alkaline. This part of the vagina must be weakly acidic to be healthy. Changes in the vaginal PH value are often ignored by women. In fact, the vagina is affected by external factors that can cause gynecological diseases.
3 reasons that affect the imbalance of vaginal PH
- Use alkaline cleaning products. If you use alkaline soap to clean the vulva, rinse the vagina with alkaline toiletries too much, or abuse antibiotics. Then these inadvertent actions may change the acidic environment in the vagina.
- Excessive sex life. Two kinds of bacteria in the vagina (pathogenic anaerobic bacteria and Gardnerella) will begin to multiply because of frequent sexual life, and then break the weak acid balance in the vagina.
- Use condoms containing alkaline lubricants. Most condoms on the market now choose methyl silicone oil as a lubricant. This is a weakly alkaline substance. After intimate contact with the human body, methyl silicone oil is not easily volatile and insoluble in water, which makes it difficult to clean, and long-term residue in the vagina will also destroy the vaginal acid-base balance.
Will condom use lead to gynecological diseases?
The vagina of a healthy woman is indeed weakly acidic, and a large number of microorganisms live in such an environment. 90% of the microbiome is Lactobacillus. Such an environment is not conducive to bacterial growth. And the weakly acidic environment can eliminate the harmful bacteria from outside. Play a very good defensive role. At the same time, it can inhibit and engulf most germs. When this acidic environment is changed, it does affect women’s natural defense capabilities. This leads to gynecological inflammation.
Although, the causes of PH imbalance include the use of condoms. However, don’t worry, the weakly acidic environment in a woman’s vagina will not change easily with just a few condoms. The use of methyl silicone oil can cause gynecological inflammation. But the female vagina has a certain self-purification effect, this self-purification ability can prevent the invasion of foreign substances. And as long as you choose a condom of a qualified production, and use high-quality condoms with low methyl silicone oil content, pay attention to sexual hygiene, so as to avoid unqualified condoms from damaging the environment in the vagina, and the use of condoms will not increase. Risk of gynecological inflammation.
